IFA26: Roborock F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 in hand: 180 degree steam for greasy kitchen floors
I have the Roborock F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 floor vacuum cleaner in hand at IFA 2026. I find this is an item that solves the exact headache of many families. There are a lot of automatic vacuum cleaner robots these days, but for those who have a lot of furniture, a house with floors or a kitchen floor that is often greasy, a handheld heated floor mop like this still brings a much cleaner and more secure feeling.
180 degree steam dissolves grease and smart trash collection mechanism
The most profitable point on the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is the high temperature steam system up to 180 degrees Celsius. Normally, if the floor is covered in grease that splatters out when frying, or spilled food stains dry out over a long period of time, if you just hold a regular mop and rub it over it, it will take a lot of pressure but the floor will still be sticky.
On the front of the suction head, Roborock is equipped with a flexible rubber blade that can lower itself to collect coarse dust and debris straight into the roll shaft, avoiding the situation of trash being thrown back out. When trash and dirty water are sucked up into the machine body, the system will automatically separate the dirty water and dry trash into two different compartments. Thanks to that, cleaning the machine after wiping is easier, without having to deal with a sticky mess inside the container.
Fold flat 180 degrees to slide the undercarriage and wipe arms close to the edge
One upgrade I really like on this machine is the ability to lie completely flat 180 degrees to lie close to the floor. The body of the machine is about 12.5 cm thick, so when pushing the machine deep into the bed, under the sofa or the corners of the tea table, it is very smooth, without getting stuck or needing a water bottle.
To handle wall base corners that are difficult to reach with round rollers, the machine has a SensEdge AI mechanical arm that automatically lowers in the blink of an eye to clean the 0 mm edge on all three sides, while also removing excess water to prevent the floor from becoming streaked with water.
The roller is also designed in the shape of JawScrapers shark teeth to help cut and push tangled hair into the suction nozzle, eliminating the need to sit and remove hair by hand. The machine's battery provides a maximum operating time of 100 minutes in normal mode and about 30 minutes if continuous steam is activated, after which the charging station will automatically wash the roller with steam and dry it.
Personally, if you live in a simple apartment, a robot is enough, but in a house that often cooks, a house with many nooks and crannies, or a small restaurant business, a heated floor mop like the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is really much more necessary. 180 degree steam helps clean the kitchen floor without overusing floor cleaning chemicals. Do you think this solution of using hot steam on a mop is practical enough for family needs?
